Why current affairs and static portion are separate?

Excess material and test series are easily available in the market for static topics. However, Current affairs material is most scattered which student find difficult to collect, segregate and analyze to take the best out of them. None of the coaching institute provides separate current affairs test series and thus currents affairs somehow remain neglected portion in terms of evaluating one’s performance.

How is it relevant?

Even after preparing current affairs from selected best sources, students do not find themselves confident about their preparation. This shows the relevance of current affairs test series. Moreover, covering static portion topic-wise simultaneously with current affairs tests will help you to cover complete syllabus in limited span of time.
